To avoid the costly expense and inconvenience of sanding, refinishing, or even a complete replacement, Exclusive Cleaning and Restoration knows that maintaining hardwood floors year round is key. If you have hardwood flooring throughout your home, read on for our suggested at home maintenance and cleaning procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Daily Cleaning<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay \u2013 \u2018daily\u2019 might be a strong word, but if you have time to dust and sweep your hardwoods on a daily basis, this is your best defense against scratches and surface damage that comes with daily activities. We suggest conducting a quick sweep to pick up any larger items or loose dirt and dust, and then doubling back with a microfiber mop to efficiently pick up and trap remaining messes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/floor-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Maintaining Hardwood Floors Year Round Hardwood Flooring Breckenridge\" width=\"366\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/floor-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/floor-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/floor-2.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Weekly Cleaning<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common misconception \u2013 vacuums are only for cleaning carpets. Not in our book! Busting out the vac at least once a week is great for cleaning those harder to reach places, such as corners, under bookshelves, and so on. Reminder: if your vacuum has wheels on it, be sure not to let them scrape along the hardwood in order to avoid scrapes and damage. And, if vacuuming isn\u2019t your style, you can always wet mop, just remember that water and hardwood don\u2019t mix! Lightly mist the surface with hardwood cleaner and wipe away impurities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Monthly Cleaning<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polish, polish, polish. Polishing hardwood not only renews and refreshes the surface, but it also ensures that the finish is getting the most attentions, filling microscopic scratches and events out the surface with minimal effort. Simply purchase hardwood polish, spray, and buff out to reveal shiny, good-as-new floors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-368\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/my-living-room-1227463.jpeg\" alt=\"Maintaining Hardwood Floors Year Round, Breckenridge hardwood floors\" width=\"496\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/my-living-room-1227463.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/my-living-room-1227463-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.exclusivecleaningandrestoration.com\/ecr_staging2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/my-living-room-1227463-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Yearly Cleaning<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most items within the home, a deep clean once a year is a fantastic rule of thumb for maintaining quality.
